Ahhh, how me and Joe made an
impression my first semester there at ETSU. Taylor Dorm had
been there for nearly a hundred years, and the Janitor Wes had
been there twelve. Poor dear Wess, he loved Taylor Dorm. Wes
was in his thirties, but was sure he would retire when he was
65 as Taylor's Janitor. After a few incidents, such as our garbage
can, me peeing in the sink in the men's room, and a few more
poor Wes was getting irritated. Well the last nail in the coffin
came one weekend when me and Joe were going home. Joe had some
corn in a Tupper-ware dish. It was, oh about 2 months old just
hanging out in the fridge. Well we decide it's time to throw
it away. Joe goes to the stair well, calmly takes off the lid
of the corn, and let's the container drop down four flights
of stairs straight to the bottom. It was a perfect shot , something
hard to do on the winding stairways without hitting the railing
on the way down. We went down to have a look, and was satisfied
with the maximum blast of the container. We went home for the
weekend that Friday and came back that Sunday before Wes had
a chance to make it in for the start of the week. The corn was
still there untouched and smelling WAYYYYYY to ripe. I would
rather be sprayed point blank with a skunk, than smell the corn
at that point. Well next day Wes comes in to clean the dorm,
and within an hour he had left the dorm refusing to clean it
again. The housing department finally relocates him to Brooks
Gym, and gives us not one but 5-7 janitors, which we labeled
the JSA. For those not to bright with initials JSA stands for
Janitors Society of Americ........ never mind. Until Next Time.
